Correct Answer:

Release of the scene by law enforcement or the relevant regulatory authority

Question 2

An unattended death scene in a warm apartment is reported five days after the death. Compared to a fresh trauma scene, the cleanup technician should expect:

Less odor and lighter biological contamination Heavier decomposition byproducts, stronger odor, and likely insect activity No contamination because tissue dries out quickly Less risk of bloodborne pathogen exposure than a fresh scene

Correct Answer:

Heavier decomposition byproducts, stronger odor, and likely insect activity

Correct Answer:

A suicide involving a firearm

Correct Answer:

Confirm written release of the scene and develop a written work plan including PPE, containment, and waste handling
